The local organ of democracy indulges in a rather dismal jeremiad on the result of the recent eléction and shows a rather puerile disposition to lambastias® disloyalists, slackers, or fools all who voted the’republican ticket. However, the rag is really taken from its sore toe in the following comment; Another explanation is to be found in the indiffer- ence of the labor element, includinig the railroad men: All over Indiana thousands of these did mnot vote. We do not undertake to explain the reason—the fact is beyond dispute. ' And there is little doubt but that war activities ‘have become unpopular with many people. The insistence that men buy bonds and con- tribute to war funds has ne doubt led to much resent- ment which has béen concéaled. These who do not want to pay the price of liberty kept their own coun- cils and went to the polls and voted against the ad- ministration.’ : : In other words “the labor element, including the railroad men” refused to sell its manahood for the hundreds ‘of millions; of dollars passed out, some of it' properly and some of it im- properly, but all of it with the sameé end in view. : AT PIPE DREAMS. Some democratic ideas of efficieicy remind one of certain mechanical cartoons depicting involved methods of attaining simple ends. It appears that argon, an inert, non-inflamable gas, will:be used in the future for the inflation of ballons in order to eliminate the fire hazard. . Natural gas containing one per.cent of argon has'been discovered at a point in Texas. It is proposed to build a pipe line over ninety-four miles in length from:the gas well to another point, and there erect an extract- ing plant; where the argon will be separated, placed in cylinders and shipped to balloon fields for use. . To extract one per cent of argon, 99 per cent of hydrogen,’is to be transported through a pipe line,. costing $1,050,000 to constrict; in order to reach a plant:yetto.be built at a cost of $900,000. To the laymen the obvious procedure would be to erect the plant in the immediate vicinity of the gas well, thereby saving time and large construction and maintenance costs. R U SR "STATE SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION REGRETS ACT. The Minnesota woman sufférage association is a branch of the National American woman sufférage association, which has 4 membership of over two million women and has been or- ganized since 1869. It is the definite policy of the national As- sociation that states with constitutions' which are difficult to amend should not attempt to pass state amendments but should concentrate their efforts on the federal amendment. The Minnesota woman sufferage association numbers over thirty thousanad members and has working committees in more than 450 towns and cities in the state. The national woman’s party is notiin any way allied with the ‘national American and Minnesota woman sufferage as- sociations. The policy of the national woman's party, which in- cluded the picketing of the white house during the war, and the burning of the president’s speeches, etc., is deeply regretted by the Minnesota woman sufferage association. . ___——0. 1t will be noticed in a Washington dispatch where sixteen food firms have been convicted on charges of profiteering. The penalties consisted of suspension of business, compelling con- tributions to the Red Cross and other relief agencies. And the government head exempted the fficers who were members of the aviation board after it was shown they were law viclators by placing contracts in plants im which they were interested. ‘And what, pray, ever became of the manufacturers of defective ioah:i ;eggings etc? Why not play the game clear across the oar : B F Now the state food administrations are to be “demobil- ized” the first of the year. Well, A. D. Wilson, head for Min- nesota, was a good federal administrator, but the war is over and no need to shiver over the edting problem any more, so long as'one has the price. | § e () s Bemidji did the electric wiring on the new normal, and Manager Naylor of the Minnesota Light and Power company in Bemidji and his men assisted on the work.

Ave. Bemidji, Minnesota THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER I -~ FROM BELTRAMI O, | SOLDIERS-SAILORS “TOUGH TIME.” SAYS Sergt. Daniel C. Newton,"in writ- ing a letter to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Newton of Bemidii; admits it was the first he had written since ‘having ‘been “over there," and starts 'right ~in: to tell that he had been “gver ‘the top" fiye times in action, and landed in a base hospital ‘with a fractured wrist where a piece of shell ploughed through, and he also had a piece through his Ieft'leg and several cuts on his baek. = “But,” writes the Bemidjl soldier, ¥I was sure lucky, for two other soldiers were killed by the same:shellandj ” three others wounded.’ least wounds of the‘others. “We were marching through a lit- tle French town just at daylight when a boche aeroplane : observer spotted us. They landed five shells in the village inside of two'seconds and one‘of them ‘struck in the col- umn right by my feet, €0 you see how I-have something to be thankful for.**{~ He says the badly wotnded: will come ‘home first and that he believes he ‘will be among ‘the last-of the wounded to embark. If he stays an= other three months he ~will have three gold stripes on his left arm and one on hig right sleeve for his wounds. * He also spoke of a splendid dinner the soldiers had in Paris on Thanksgiving day. - He recalled that he hadn’t had a piece of ple in sev- enteen months, He ecloses by telling his parents-not to worry, < AT THE' THEATERS ELKO PROGRAM. When Polly Marsden, was com- pelled to make a chofce of one of two. men who loved her, she decided that given an hour’s start, she wounld leave town “in her automobile and that she would bestow-her hand upon ;lhe first of her suitors who caught er. . This is the beginning of “In Pur- suit’ of Polly,” which will be dis- played at the Elko theater tonight and Sunday, matinee and evening. An additional attraction will be the. music at the Elko tonight and Sunday evening—Mrs, Sanborn, vio- 1in, and Miss Riley, piano, playing gelections adapted to the photoplay scenes. Monday and Tuesday Alice Joyce appears at the Elko in “To The Highest Bidder,” an entertaining story told amid scenes on the farm, at a circus, {n the village and city. “Pecks Bad Girl" at the Grand to- night and Stinday, matinee and even- ing’ is a whole show in itself. It's circus, hippodrome; comedy, drama and melodrama all thrown into one big plot, boiled down, stirred ‘round and served a la carte. Mabel Nor. ‘mand: is at her very best in this dif- ferent play. First you see her as the town nuisance, playing so many tricks and pranks that any one of the townsfolk would give a year of their life if someone would take Mabel Penelope Peck and chuck her into the river. A dream of a city vamp blows into Yaptank. She's a regular blooie with the men! Three hard guys from somewhere put in their appearance and then the real trouble starts, 3 Monday Gladys Leslie comes to the @rend in “The Soap 'Girl,” a sparkl- ing comedy drama, uniquely in a ¢lass by itself. A wholesone, inter- esting story that ‘could ‘not fail to please even the most jaded of movie spectators.” REX TONIGHT. “M:rriages Aré Made,” with Peg- gy ¥yland, is the feature picture at the Rcx theater today. It presents the (hrilling story of a battle of wits betweea a daring American woman and n desperate German spy to save ]or’de:moy a newly built government vessel 2t a federal shipyard in which ithe German is utterly defeated: The absorbing story of how such a plot was craftily planned, and how it was exposed and its originators brought to justice, is the subject of this Willlam Fox photoplay. A Sunghine ‘comedy will also b shown. - SUNDAY’S FEATURE.

Many people have been frightened by what they have read or heard of influenza; The more you fear the disease, the surer you are to get it. Go right about your business and forget it. ~ As the'disease is spread principally by contact thru sneezing, coughing or spitting, many health authorities have advised that every- one wear & gauze, which is daily washed and saturated with a one to five hundred solution of zinc gulphate in ‘water, and then dried before wear- ing over ‘the nose and mouth. You should avoid crowds, common drink- ing cups and public towels. . Keep your-strength up by taking lots of exercise in the open air and plenty of nourishing food. If you have any of such symptoms as chilliness, nasal obstructions, flushed face, headache, feverishness, restlessness, weakness, or irritating cough, give up work at once and go to bed. This will save your strength to help .overcome the disease. Put your feet in hot water for fitteen minutes. Thoroughly loosen the bowels with some such mild and non- irritating physics as Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. Drink principally of -hot lemonade and then cover up with plenty-of clothes in bed so as to get a good sweat. When sweating is free and the fever reduced take a dose of two Anuric Tablets every four hours, followed by drinking at least a glass or two of hot water. Anuric Tablets help quickly to relieve the soreness of the muscles and bones from which most patients compiain and help the kidneys flush out the poisons.

It will give great relief. HEmployed as a gargle, in same strength as made up for use in the nose, and as hot as can be borne, it quickly arrests sore- ness and dryness in the throat. Influenza weakens the patient’s re- sistance to disease, so that there is danger of bronchitis and pneumonia developing. To combat this tendency and fortify the patient’s strength in- sist that he keep in bed at least two days. Probably nothing will at this stage. hasten the recovery =and sirengthen the patient more than an iron-tonic tablet called “Irontic” or that well known herbal tonie, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, which has been used by thousands in the past two generations: AND SERVICE % 5 !
